Simply Enchanting ran a great race today at Del Mar R#3, closing in on the clear leader deep in the stretch to almost get there, only loosing by a head at the wire and finishing 4 lengths ahead of the 3rd place horse. Very exciting performance and we'll post more when we receive the Equibase and trainer reports.
AFTER RACE REPORT
Simply Enchanting bounced back nicely this afternoon at Del Mar, missing by a head to in-form Edge Racing runner Normandy Queen. (Edge is MRH's other division and Normandy Queen is currently undefeated.)
Your filly took a bump from the horse to her inside at the break, but continued right along to stalk from third. Normandy Queen looked home free heading for home, but Simply Enchanting continued to respond to rider Antonio Fresu’s urging. She found another gear once she switched leads at the top of the lane, gobbled up ground on the leader, but just ran out of room.
Regardless of the tough beat, we have to be very heartened by that performance and excited to see Simply Enchanting build on that improved run next time.
We’ll see how she comes back and weigh options with trainer Phil D’Amato, but another try in a similar spot would be logical.
